DEAR FELLOW-MEMBERS,

When  we  contemplate  the  tremendous  nature  of

Paul's prison ministry, the well-nigh overwhelming odds against

its testimony, and the feebleness of the witness associated with

The Berean Expositor, nothing but the fact that we are in the

hands of the God of all-sufficient grace gives the needed assurance

to go forward. This we do despite the fact that as an organization

we are negligible, our circulation not large, and our position

outside the camp.

We rejoice however to record that at last, certain periodicals

once fast closed against this truth have opened their pages, some

for positive testimony and others for tentative correspondence.

Whilst not having taken any part in the correspondence, we are

encouraged by the fact that the Word is going forth and that in this

country, in U.S.A. and on the Continent the seed so long sown in

loneliness is at length bearing fruit.

With thankfulness for the practical fellowship of saints,

and a desire that every issue shall increasingly magnify the

Lord Jesus Christ,

We remain, by grace,

Yours for the truth,

CHARLES H. WELCH
